MPAA asked the FCC to protect creative content online in a national broadband
In a filing Friday with the FCC, the MPAA wroteWashington, DC – The Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) has asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the protection of creative content online basis and guiding principle of the National Broadband Plan.
“If the National Broadband Plan is to serve as a roadmap to success for ubiquitous broadband to all Americans, the government must recognize the vital role that high quality, high value content plays in driving the adoption of new technologies. Compelling content is an essential ingredient in the Internet experience for consumers and a key driver of broadband adoption. As inappropriate online creative rights prevent the deployment of creative new content offerings, which undermines the Commission, Congress and the Administration of the national goal of broadband everywhere. For this reason, the MPAA urges the Commission to respect for creative content online basis and guiding principle of the National Broadband.
Anarchy and disrespect for the rule of law in line are no less harmful to society than the ignorance of our laws would be elsewhere. The government can not allow the anonymity of the Internet becomes a cloak behind which people think that illegal behavior can continue unabated.”In fact, if you become a national policy that the Internet will serve as a center of modern society – a digital cross the main street, a plaza and a mega shopping and entertainment” all rolled into one – there is a place ruled by laws, rules and regulations, as well as real streets and livable communities throughout the United States.
